Founding Faculty Fellowship The Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (SkTech)
Founding Faculty Fellowship
The Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (SkTech), a cooperative initiative with MIT, is proud to announce the creation of a limited number of Founding Faculty Fellowships. Faculty Fellows will participate in launching and shaping this new university in its crucial formative stages. SkTech is a startup university, to be located in the innovation zone called Skolkovo, outside of Moscow - sometimes called the “Russian Silicon Valley.”
We seek candidates wishing to explore the function of universities, the creation of new research programs, the design of advanced educational environments and programs, and the interfaces between universities and industry that drive innovation.
Applicants must be permanent faculty members or senior administrative staff at major universities or senior staff from industrial or national research laboratories.
Faculty Fellows would be expected to spend at least half time with SkTech, working for a period of at least four months and up to one year, but individual time commitments are negotiable. English is the working language of SkTech and ability to speak Russian is a benefit. Levels of financial support commensurate with sabbaticals at western universities will be provided, as well as travel and living allowances.
Positions are available starting immediately and running through at least June 2013. Applications should be submitted to https://ff-program.mit.edu/. Questions on the goals and plans for the program can be directed to Professor Michael Myagkov at myagkov@uoregon.edu. Additional information can be found at the SkTech/MIT Initiative website: http://web.mit.edu/sktech.
SkTech is committed to diversity and equity, and all are invited to apply without regard for gender, race or national origin.
